I guess it's been nearly a year since I posted anything new here. I've been busy over the winter. Here are me new pieces and some updates to old ones. I have also made some large updates to my SWAG gallery. Many of my custom figures have corresponding original art and backstories there. My next big project will be to bring the customs, art and backstories all together in one dossier.

This first one really isn't anything new. I had a bunch of customized ewoks. I recently added to the renks with some simple hood swaps. I just wanted to get a picture of the tribe all together.

The next batch is some random folks from throughout the Empire.

A dashing Moff

A Twi'Lek citizen

A droid hobbyist had fun cobbling together these two... or maybe they're Feral Droids

An aging moisture farmer

A Morgukai Warrior

Another guard for Jabba's palace

An aristocratic gambler

A Klatooinian Traveler

A smuggler

A new female Mandolorian

Here are all of my Mandolorians together

Here's a cadre of new Jedi

And Finally... When I finally get around to writing the story many of the characters from my customs and drawings will inhabit, this guy will be the key character. This is Tranoj, an orphaned Chiss Jedi. You can see his profile in my SWAG gallery.

Young Tranoj

Adult Tranoj

Wow, man, it has been a long time, but what an update! Where to begin?! Well, first of all, your customs are still as varied as ever, a trademark quality in your work.

As always, your paint work is spot on and very tidy. Especially the adult Tranoj looks absolutely marvelous. And his younger version is pretty impressive too.

Nexu Squad is just great. What a cool group of characters. They probably could benefit from some washes and weathering, though

My favourite ones would have to be that old moisture farmer. I was scrolling down your page and when this guy came in view.... I was blown away. Such a simple background like character, yet really standing out there.

Great work man, glad to see you're still customizing and my compliments on your fine additions to your SWAG gallery! Love the airspeeders and b/w sketches of the Ithorian, Mon Cal and such

Cool additions, Steve. I agree with Justin on the customizing party. That was a good time and it's been too long since we had one (wish we could do it more frequently and I could get some pointers on customizing).

Also love the drawings. I didn't know you were an artist as well. Once upon a time I used to draw quite a bit. Wanted to get into graphic novels back in the day.

Thanks much guys! - And I'm not ignoring the hints on the customizing party. I'd love to do it again. As you can probably tell from my lack of attending a monthly meeting in over a year though, my evenings have gotten very busy this year. Usually winter was slower, but with two kids in dancing, swimming and girl scouts... well, you can guess the rest.

I will try and clear up a time this summer and see who all it will work for.

I can't believe I haven't posted new work here for almost two years. I have a few things I just finished up, and a few more in the works. Let me know what you think.

The first is a super articulated Hoth Luke. The new Han with Tauntaun on the shelf upstaged the POTF Luke so bad, I needed to put together a comparable Luke to sit on his new ride.

The next set is Domino Squad from the first episode of CLone Wars season 3. Of course, Hevy has been available for a while, but I studied the episode to get all the right markings for Droidbait, Echo, Cutup and Fives.

I used some spare parts and a new paintjob to make a new Death Star officer.

I made a Princess Kneesaa out of an old Kenner Wicket years ago, but I sold her, so I decided it was time to have Princess Kneesaa 2.0

Finally, one of my first Star Wars customs was Darth Omen, a Sith Lord of my own design. I decided he also needed a facelift, so here is Darth Omen 2.0.Old and New together

Spectacular customs Steve. I really like newer ewoks you've made decked out with detail and accessories. And that custom Mando army is wicked. We need to get another customization party back on the calendar.
